Chapter 2440: Chapter 897: Fifth-order Immortal Gu, Red Eyes Golden Pupils
Resolving the Demonic Mind Gu simple?
If it were really that simple, Luo Chen wouldn’t have been troubled for decades.
Only after deeply engaging with this Gu insect did Luo Chen understand why the Southern Border would severely crack down on its circulation back then.
Once a cultivator binds too deeply with it, it’s like bone creeping maggots, difficult to remove.
Even a Tianshan True Master from the Southern Border wouldn’t dare claim it’s easy. So where does this Valley Immortal get such arrogance?
Under Luo Chen’s questioning gaze, Feng Jiang slightly lifted his eyelids.
“Your previous approach was mistaken.”
“You only thought of removing this Gu but never considered transforming and using it.”
At this remark, Luo Chen’s expression changed dramatically.
In a trance, it’s as if a layer of window paper is slowly being pierced.
Yet, what’s behind that layer of window paper, he still couldn’t see clearly.
He said hesitantly, “Indeed, I previously thought of this Gu as harmful, so solely aimed to strip it away and never considered what you mentioned.”
Feng Jiang said gravely, “Blessings depend on misfortune, misfortune depends on blessings. The reason why the Demonic Mind Gu was able to flourish must be due to its extraordinary aspects. If handled well, it could indeed be a great fortune for your son.”
“Friend, how should you instruct me?” Luo Chen asked sincerely.
“Perhaps ordinary people can’t use this method, but your son’s situation is unique. It’s not postnatal implantation but a congenital accompanying Demonic Mind Gu. It might indeed work.” Feng Jiang glanced at the sleeping boy in Luo Chen’s arms and gently said, “It’s nothing more than dividing and transforming it, and making use of it!”
Luo Chen’s spirit lifted, vaguely seeing the scenery behind the window paper.
…
A secluded side hall of Yingxian Peak, hidden among the pines.
Outside the hall, a boy sat cross-legged under a large pine tree, rhythmically breathing.
Inside the hall, a young man looked through a window at this scene, his expression conflicted.
After a while, Luo Chen withdrew his gaze, refocusing his attention on the thin xuan paper before him.
It contained the specific method Feng Jiang passed on for resolving the Demonic Mind Gu issue.
The Demonic Mind Gu, a Gu insect that once flourished in the Southern Border.
Reportedly, once planted and cultivated to a sufficient level, it was possible to kill the one bearing the Gu.
The one who implanted the Gu could instantly acquire a large portion of the victim’s cultivation achievements.
Especially when impacting a realm, requiring explosive power.
This convenience is truly a model of the Demonic Path!
Hence, it was named “Demonic Mind.”
Later, when news spread of the existence of a Demon Heart Gu Emperor, the fervor under the fourth order calmed somewhat.
Yet, some still dared to risk it.
The main reason was that the Demonic Mind Gu not only possessed the ability to plunder others’ cultivation levels but also accelerated the cultivator’s own cultivation speed.
As long as the degree was controlled well, it could be removed at any time!
But controlling this degree was something ordinary people found difficult.
After all, those unable to resist the convenience of this cultivation inducement naturally couldn’t remain untainted amidst constant companionship.
They would only sink deeper, ultimately becoming the Gu Emperor’s readily used fodder.
Luo Lingxi, however, was different!
His bond with the Demonic Mind Gu had deepened beyond ordinary levels.
Thus, while complete removal was impossible, from another perspective, he himself could be considered a “Low-Level Gu Emperor.”
Though he remained subject to the sole existing Demon Heart Gu Emperor, Luo Lingxi himself possessed the ability to plunder others’ Demonic Mind Gu.
If!
This is conditional—if Luo Lingxi could elevate his half-bodied Demonic Mind Gu to the fourth order level, he could achieve the “below overcomes above” step mentioned by Tianshan True Master.
Even if unable to reach such a level, as long as he distances himself from the Demon Heart Gu Emperor, he wouldn’t have his cultivation plundered anytime.
“Divide and transform it, make use of it… truly simple, yet still too deceitful and domineering.”
The xuan paper detailed how to mass-produce low-order Demonic Mind Gu.
Following the method, using lifebound Gu to create low-order Demonic Mind Gu and then spreading them, implanting them in others would complete the “divide and transform it” step.
During this process, lifebound Gu isn’t actually weakened, thus wouldn’t incite resistance from the Demonic Mind Gu.
Instead, the dispersed low-order Demonic Mind Gu continues to grow; once retrieved, lifebound Gu would have effectively grown.
The host can seize the opportunity for rapid cultivation, raising weak cultivation and lifespan, et cetera.
As for whether to reclaim the Gu insects and harvest the fodder later, that’s the “make use of it” follow-up step.
“The theory is viable.”
“The specific operation method seems flawless to me.”
“But truly resort to this method?”
Luo Chen was momentarily hesitant.
The dispersed Demonic Mind Gu would inevitably seek a host.
Even if Luo Lingxi knew nothing, it remains an act of the Demonic Path.
Luo Chen himself was known as “Demon King Qingyang” in his early years, yet his conduct was within limits, not completely sunk into the Demonic Path.
If Luo Lingxi took such steps, from the start, he would have half a foot into the Demonic Path.
Most in the Demonic Path face dire outcomes.
What parent in the world would willingly accept this?
“Let’s see, he’s still young.”
Sighing lightly, Luo Chen solemnly tucked away the paper slip.
…
“Luo Chen, you finally agreed to leave. I thought you had no interest in the Pill Saint Inheritance and was ready to record related classics to bring them to you.”
Ye Lingtian said, half complaining, half delighted.
Luo Chen replied helplessly, “Who wouldn’t want the Pill Saint Inheritance? But isn’t there still a young one to care for?”
